Troubleshooting.
When checking an appliance you can come across some problems which are a result of improper handling of the appliance and can be easily eliminated.
Run through this checklist before calling your nearest Service office.
The appliance won’t work. | Check the plug is firmly positioned in the wall | |
| socket and the power supply is switched on. | |
| Check the power supply with another | |
| appliance. | |
| Check the fuse. | |
|
| |
There has been a power failure. | DO NOT OPEN THE FREEZER DOOR. | |
| If power does not return within 16 hours, food | |
| should be removed from the freezer and either | |
| cooked and eaten within 24 hours or cooked | |
| and refrozen. | |
|
| |
The appliance is making alot of noise. | Check the appliance is stabilised. | |
| Ensure the appliance is not touching the wall | |
| or kitchen units. | |
|
| |
Continuous Operation of the Compressor | Has the door been opened frequently or for | |
| left open for a long period of time? | |
| The door is not closed properly/does not seal | |
| properly (clean the gasket if it is contaminated | |
| or replace it if it is damaged). | |
| Have you observed the maximum storage | |
| quantities? | |
| Check there is adequate air circulation. | |
|
| |
Water is leaking from the refrigerator. | Check that the defrost water outlet is not | |
| blocked. (If blocked a plastic straw can be used | |
| to clear). | |
| Check that stored food or packaging is not in | |
| contact with the cooling plate on the interior | |
| rear wall of the refrigerator. (NB. It is normal | |
| for droplets to run down the cooling plate). | |
| Is there ice formation on the interior rear wall? | |
| (see ‘Manual defrosting of the Refrigerator’ ) | |
|
| |
Refrigerator interior light does not work. | SWITCH OFF AT THE SOCKET AND PULL OUT | |
| THE MAIN PLUG, check the bulb is screwed in | |
| correctly. | |
| If it still doesn’t work, replace the bulb (see | |
| ‘Changing the Light Bulb). | |
|
| |
The freezer door is difficult to open. | If you have just closed the freezer door, it | |
| may be particularly difficult to open again | |
| immediately. This is partly due to the | |
| difference in temperature between the room | |
| and the internal compartment. Wait 5 minutes | |
| for the external and internal pressure to | |
| equalise and try again. | |
|
| |
Refrigerator and freezer compartments are |
| |
colder than normal. | This is normal when the integrated fast freeze | |
| switch is selected. | |
The compressor runs for prolonged periods. | ||
